Wang Yi, according to the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, also stressed that regional tensions should not be allowed to escalate further.
“The current international situation is turbulent and interconnected,” Wang said. “China appreciates your claim that war is not an India’s choice, and sincerely hopes that India and Pakistan will remain calm and restrained, properly solve differences through dialogue and consultations and avoid escalation of the situation.”

India accuses Pakistan for a breach of a ceasefire
On Saturday (May 10), India accused Pakistan of violating the newly agreed ceasefire only a few hours after US President Donald Trump announced that both nations had retreated from escalation. Indian Foreign Minister Vikram Misri said that there was a “repeated violation” of an understanding of the ceasefire and the confirmed Indian armed forces “retaliation appropriately”.
“We are calling for Pakistan to take appropriate steps to deal with these violations and solve the situation with severity and responsibility,” Misri said at a press conference in Nový Delhi.
Trump on social media announced an agreement on the ceasefire, mediated by the United States after intensive cross -border struggles, on social media: “India and Pakistan have agreed on complete and immediate ceasefire. Congratulations to both countries to use common sense and great intelligence.”
India-Pakistan tension escalates
The tension between India and Pakistan escalated after a number of military exchanges induced by a terrorist attack on April 22 in Pahalgam, which the Indian authorities linked to cross -border terrorist networks.
